String probes, simple currents, and the no global symmetries conjecture
Guglielmo Lockhart, Luca Novelli, Yann Proto
Center one-form symmetries in consistent quantum gravity theories are expected to be either broken or gauged, thereby determining the global form of the gauge group. We shed light…

The hyperplane string, RCFTs, and the swampland
Guglielmo Lockhart, Luca Novelli
Six dimensional supergravity features BPS strings whose properties encode highly nontrivial information about the parent 6d theory. We focus on a distinguished…
